I'm starting to contemplate setting up my own private servers, connect with other people doing the same, and make our own little private network. Think Onion/Tor, but better. I just need to figure out the legalities and logistics of this, and cost of course...
Seriously though, does no one remember Benjamin Franklins quote: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Yep. That. A centuries old saying, that hits home right now. If we are to give up some of our own freedom/liberty to the government, in exchange for them saying we are safer for it, we are effectively opening the door to being trampled upon by both our own government, and our enemies.
